September and the Indian Summer | walking, relaxation, re-generation

Meran - the season of gold

Meran and its surrounding countryside are exceptionally beautiful at this time of the year and guests envy the laid-back life the local people seem to lead, a mixture of the friendly, laid-back atmosphere of the south and Tyrolean cordiality. You are sure of a very warm welcome in this part of the country. Why not take a relaxing stroll to see what's going on around you or just devote a little extra time to yourselves and do very little!.
